Weird TV science
As I was typing, I saw an NBC breaking news report out of the corner of my eye. My first thought was, why do they make the turning globe all red? It looks like the planet Jupiter? Well, anyway, Brokaw was interrupting to announce that Mount St Helens is starting to vent some steam. Hambet… Continue reading Weird TV science
That space-time anomaly is at it again
That black hole in my house has eaten my travel mug — the second one consumed this year. I’m really fond of this one and I wish the anomaly would give it back. I wonder if I need to come up with something to trade? St Anthony, please help! UPDATE: My husband found it that… Continue reading That space-time anomaly is at it again
How to call the Florida Supremes…

Jordan also has a post on Terri today, sharing her reflections on an image of… Continue reading Prayers for Terri
If I were running “Spanning the Globe….”
…this would definitely be included: Ever since Tim Russert said “Ohio, Ohio, Ohio” on his little show Ohioans have taken their role in the ’04 election with great seriousness. This has most obviously shown itself by a superabundance of yard signs and bumper stickers. Kerry & Edwards have the most, presumably because much of the… Continue reading If I were running “Spanning the Globe….”
A Rich Boyhood in the Plain Void
No, not mine. It’s Lileks’s memoir. One reason I get a special kick out of this essay is that my parents shop at the grocery store he mentions toward the end; the flowers for my wedding and for my sister’s were from shops in that strip mall. Thanks to Terry for this link.
